Casastrophic failure

have also right clicked and run ad admin, with same results, as I click on ok on the pop up box, it just bleeps and stays there. its not until i click on scan then click on ok of the pop up box that it finally goes away. the program does its scan, tells me I have threats. then the same pop up box comes up again.and again it wont do anything when i click ok untill I click on clean then ok on the pop up box then another pop up box comes up saying all programs will be closed to ensure proper removal.

Greetings,

Can you take a screenshot of that pop up box?
